"Deep down inside of us sleeps a longing to live nature as Andrea Blanar paints it."
"Blanar observes all facets of a scene and paints in the plants and creatures, the ebb and flow of tides and the traces of human activity that she senses there. Influences as diverse as European religious iconography, Maritime folk art traditions, ancient artifacts and traditional landscape painting inform the work and show evidence of the experiences of the traveler / artist who created them."
